Preface board
We are very proud to be able to celebrate our 75th anniversary of our family business this year. We don’t want to let this happy fact just pass by. We want to take this moment to look back in our history, to tell you a little more about our beautiful company.
We are going back to where it all started and will work towards where we are now and where we are heading in the future. But let’s start by introducing ourselves.

Core values
Gebuwin was founded in 1947 by the brothers Buunk in Winterswijk, the Netherlands. Since 1965, the company is owned by the Siertsema family. We, Robert and Alan Siertsema, belong to the fourth generation of Gebuwin owners and with that, we feel the responsibility to continue Gebuwin in the best way possible. After all, Gebuwin has a rich history when it comes to products and customers.
We want to keep Gebuwin’s historical values and besides that, continue to innovate without losing sight of these values. Growing up, we heard a lot from what was going on at Gebuwin through family, customers and colleagues. There are three core values that have proven to be important to Gebuwin, namely: quality, customer orientation and innovation. These core values form an important vision that we want to continue at Gebuwin.

Quality
Gebuwin manufactures products designed to move (heavy) loads. Moving loads always entails safety risks. For this reason, it is essential that our products can cover this risk, this calls for high quality products. Your trust in our product is very important to Gebuwin. The entire production process is in our own hands, which ensures a high quality assurance. All raw materials originate from Europe and everyone at Gebuwin is fully qualified and have all necessary certificates. Gebuwin therefore has an ISO9001 certificate.
Innovation
Our standard products have proven themselves over the past years thanks to the continuous technical developments made by our engineers in order to meet the demands of our customers as best as possible. Besides the development of our standard products, we invest a lot in new products specifically aimed at certain industries. For example we have developed a winch for the marine and theatre industry, with specific features for these high demanding industries. Besides developing new winches for specific industries, we are strong at customising hand and- or electric winches from very simple to complex adjustments. Read more here.
Customer orientation
We believe that we can make a difference with our products, but above all we believe that we can make the biggest difference in our commitment to our customers. We understand that companies may have different needs. Some require speed and flexibility while others need patience and formality. We tailor our customer approach to the individual needs of our customers. At Gebuwin, we believe this is essential.
What’s next?
Of course we would like to tell you a lot more about our beautiful company. We visit our grandmother and father, but also our customers and suppliers and of course our colleagues have plenty to say about Gebuwin. We take a look at the course of our products, have fun stories to tell and give you a glimpse into the future of Gebuwin.
